you wanna know why, I let her treat me like this?

why I let her talk as if she's the only one that exists?


because if she uses me, as free therapy, I don't have to feel

like im such a burden.


I say I don't like, how much I speak, and then I keep talking.

I don't get it either.


you tell me I don't bother you, and I don't have to shut up

but I'm worried that's not true, and all I do is fuck up.


she doesn't ask about me.

and I think I know why.

if she did I wouldn't stop talking.

and I don't think she wants to hear.


this is a stupid poem

it truly is

but I had to put these thoughts to rest

before they kill me.


I don't want to be a burden.

but I can't seem to stop


maybe next time she talks

I won't even respond.


then I'll be the least I can be

and maybe then she'll be happy.
